Description
You'll journey through 2,000 years of history as we chart the progress of the famous Square Mile from its Roman origins, through its growth as a trading hub, and survival of plague, fire, riots, and bombing to become Britain's foremost financial and business centre.
Along the way you’ll learn about pubs that doubled-up as courts; a secluded open space that used to be piled high with bodies; a church that emigrated, a modern building that was the subject of the mother of all planning battles, and much, much more.

Amazing Couple of Hours in the City of London
"We had a preview of this tour, it is wonderful and very informative. Can seriously recommend taking the time to see the City of London with Andy. We learn't so much about the hidden history."

Fantastic Tour – Highly Recommended!
"Thank you so very much for the wonderful tour on the 6th January. I enjoyed it so much.
Your knowledge was incredible and the delivery absolutely perfect. I learned so much. It was absolutely fascinating. I really appreciated you taking the time for us in the very cold weather and
I'm looking forward very much to Part 2 !!! I'm thinking about getting a group of friends together to do a tour with you, as I know they will love it. Thank you again Andy."

Knowledgeable, Interesting, Accessible
"I really enjoyed my city of London tour, with Andy as our guide. Andy is SO knowledgeable, I don't know how he retains all the facts in his head!
The pace was easy going and accessible to all; we had a wheelchair user on our tour who was well looked after by Andy and always made to feel included.
It's clear Andy loves London and he delivered his tour with passion and a sense of humour - highly recommended!"

Discovered Hidden Gems
"I never knew there was so many hidden gems in such a small area. I feel privileged to have been able to attend this guided tour. And as a history buff I did not want it to end."

Interesting Tour
"The city tour we had was great and I learnt interesting information about places I have been walking past for over 20 years and not even realised the history behind them. Great tour very interesting and informative and I would highly recommend."
